GROUP DOG TRAINING
Our group classes provide an excellent opportunity to reinforce obedience in a high-distraction environment. Unlike typical training sessions, we do not introduce new skills during these lessons.
Instead, we use group sessions solely for proofing purposes. To participate, dogs must be pre-approved by a trainer and should have completed a significant amount of training beforehand.

PUPPY TRAINING
Training your puppy begins the moment they come into your care. Every interaction offers a chance for learning, making it essential to establish good habits to prevent the development of undesirable behaviors.
The Spectrum Canine team recommends that all families with young puppies participate in our private lessons. Our one-on-one sessions are fully tailored to meet your puppy's unique needs, enabling your family to develop a solid foundation for raising a well-behaved dog.
Common topics covered in our Puppy Training include:
- Potty Training
- Socialization
- Loose Leash Walking
- Biting
- Chewing Furniture
- Crate Training
- Basic Obedience
No puppy is too young for training. We recognize that many puppies may not yet be fully vaccinated, so we take every precaution to ensure their health and safety. Your puppy's well-being is our top priority.
These lessons are just the beginning of an exciting training journey. We encourage ongoing training beyond the puppy stage to achieve advanced levels of obedience and control.

BOARD AND TRAINING
Board and train is a specialized training approach in which your dog resides with one of our expert trainers for an extended duration, usually at least two weeks. This immersive experience allows your dog to receive focused, individualized attention, addressing obedience commands, manners, and various behavioral concerns.
One of the key benefits of this method is that it provides a structured environment where your dog can learn without the distractions of their home setting. Our trainers work closely with each dog, implementing tailored training plans that align with the dog's personality and specific needs. This ensures that your dog receives customized instruction that maximizes their potential and accelerates their learning process.
During their stay, dogs are engaged in a variety of activities designed to reinforce positive behaviors and teach essential skills. This may include basic commands such as sit, stay, and come, as well as more advanced skills like loose leash walking and impulse control. Our trainers also focus on addressing any behavioral issues, such as excessive barking, jumping, or chewing, helping to create a well-rounded and obedient companion.
At the end of the program, you will receive detailed feedback and guidance on how to maintain and reinforce the training at home. This comprehensive approach not only enhances your dog’s skills but also strengthens the bond between you and your pet, making it an invaluable investment in their future behavior and happiness.

SERVICE DOG TRAINING
Service dog training is a cause that is very important to us. Unfortunately, many organizations and companies exploit vulnerable individuals seeking service dogs or training. We are dedicated to recommending well-bred service dogs and providing genuine training for real-world tasks, all in compliance with ADA laws. Our trainers have extensive experience working with service dogs, particularly guide dogs, and are skilled in teaching reliable tasks that are effective in everyday situations.
Each of our trainers has a background in competitive obedience, equipping us with the top-tier skills necessary to cultivate precise and consistent behaviors. Service dog handlers should be able to depend on their dogs in any situation, without exception. We take this responsibility seriously and strive to ensure that each service dog is fully capable and well-prepared for their important role.

OBEDIENCE TRAINING
Our most sought-after dog training service focuses on teaching basic obedience skills. We offer both in-home training sessions and group classes for a more dynamic learning experience.
Our training methodology is rooted in positive reinforcement, based on classical conditioning principles, and incorporates the use of an electronic collar—distinct from a shock collar. Unlike shock collars, our electronic collars are designed to gently capture a dog’s attention without causing pain or distress. We emphasize the importance of ongoing praise to reinforce good behavior, fostering a trusting relationship between the handler and the dog. The difference is evident when comparing a dog trained through fear and intimidation versus one that is motivated by a genuine desire to please. Our approach cultivates confident, well-adjusted dogs who are eager to learn and engage with their handlers.

THERAPY TRAINING
A therapy dog is specially trained to provide comfort and support to individuals in various settings. Common tasks for therapy dogs include visiting nursing homes, hospitals, and schools to uplift the spirits of those they encounter. To qualify as a therapy dog, your pet must be friendly and sociable with strangers, able to navigate high-distraction environments, and respect personal boundaries—such as not jumping, licking, or mouthing.
Research indicates that therapy dogs can significantly enhance a patient’s mood, reduce stress, and alleviate pain during hospital stays. Children, in particular, often respond very positively to therapy dogs; their presence can motivate kids to engage in treatments, instill a sense of hope, and create an overall atmosphere of calm.
Moreover, therapy dogs foster social interaction among individuals who may otherwise struggle with socialization, especially within autism and mental health communities. They offer unconditional love and non-judgmental companionship, effectively reducing feelings of stress, anxiety, and loneliness. By providing a positive distraction from discomfort and emotional distress, therapy dogs play a vital role in promoting well-being and improving the quality of life for many individuals.
